Wow, it's been a week since I last posted! I think that is because I am parts exhausted/busy/defeated/and was sick last week. Sorry for the delay, dear readers. After some more tough critiques and a crazy work load, was I ever happy to get outta town last weekend. And so the brits and I (Rory, Niki and Anjali) all pitched in and rented a car to go to Cape Cod. I was the driver, and although we ordered an economy car, we got an SUV.
Cape Cod is something like 2 or 3 hours from Providence. The main town, Provincetown was begun in something like 1626, and the pilgrims stopped there on their way to Plymouth (very old place!). It was a windy place, but the town was very cute, a lot of old houses with grey weathered shingles. Also, Cape Cod is the gay-folks mecca, so there are rainbow flags and middle aged gay couples everywhere, the most I've ever seen in one place. Also, lobster is huge there. There are pictures of lobsters everywhere, but the funny thing was, even with all of the advertising, and saying we would love to eat some lobster so much, we didn't. I guess we forgot.
I did eat some salt water taffy, it was delish. I think that's another thing Cape Cod is famous for.
But the one thing I didn't know is that Cape Cod is beautiful. We stopped our SUV at the side of the road where there were a bunch of cars parked, and made a small trek through a thin band of forest, and then the trail turned to sand!
And when we came out of the forest was the most bizarre landscape I've ever seen: mountains of sand, with dips and bowls and grasses growing out from the sand. I haven't seen anything like it and it felt like a moonscape or science fiction setting. It was really beautiful. I think most of Cape Cod is made up of sand.
It was a great day, and sooo nice just to get away, sometimes cars are so underrated. We all agreed that our car was freedom! All in all, it only cost $20 each to rent the car (we rented it for one day, but got it for Saturday and Sunday) and for gas, totally worth it.
